Kim Kardashian just got hitched in a Vera Wang and guess what? So can you, thanks to Isa-Beles Boutique. The Coral Gables store just added budget friendly couture bridal gowns to their inventory. Brands like Vera Wang, Rosa Clara, Anne Barge, Bara Luxe and Winnie Couture are just a few marked off up to 75 percent off. Dresses range from $495 up to $3,500 and sizes 4 up to 14 are available.

"Most of them are floor samples," said owner Isabel Salazar. "They are from The Bridal Garden which is a non for profit organization based in NYC that benefits education for NYC children,” she said. Salazar who is known for selling trendy women’s apparel under $100 or less said she decided to team up with the organization for a couple of reasons. "I've always wanted to get involved with a charity and I like what The Bridal Garden stands for," said Salazar. Plus, she admits she sees the bridal industry as still being lucrative during a tough retail economy.

Aside from the gowns, Salazar will also have veils and hair accessories for sale. Plus, she'll be selling bridesmaid dresses, wedding reception appropriate cocktail frocks, bridal lingerie and honeymoon outfits. Gals in need of makeup and hair services can also get it done with Salazar who is also a stylist and makeup artist on the side. “Whatever you need for your wedding, I’ve got you covered,” said Salazar.
